Cell Parts and Functions
| Jelly like substance found outside of the nucleus. | Cytoplasm |
| Contains almost all of the cells DNA. | Nucleus |
| Gives coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules | DNA |
| Beginning of the assembly of ribosomes and found in the nucleus | Nucleolus |
| Large, saclike, membrane enclosed structure, stores water, salts, protein and carbohydrates | Vacuole |
| A single large vacuole found filled with liquid is found in a __________ cell | Plant |
| The porous membrane, found around the nucleus, that is made of two layers and allows material to move in and out of the nucleus. | Nuclear Envelope |
| What kind of organism has a contractile vacuole that rhythmically pumps water in and out of the cell | Unicellular |
| Stores and moves material between cell organelles as well as to and from the cell surface | Vesicle |
| Known as the clean up crew | Lysosomes |
| The cytoskeleton threadlike microfilaments are made of a protein called | Actin |
| Network of protein filaments that give shape and internal organization to the cell | Cytoskeleton |
| Which part of the cytoskeleton is responsible for forming a mitotic spindle? | Microtubules |
| Contains enzymes that break down lipids, carbohydrates and proteins that can be used by the rest of the cell | Lysosomes |
| Involved in moving the entire cell as in flagella or cilia | Cytoskeleton |
| The cytoskeletons hollow microtubules are made of a protein called | Tubulins |
| In animal cells, centrioles are made from the cytoskeletons protein called | Tubulins |
| Microtubules are arranged in a ____ + _____ pattern | 9 + 2 |
| Which part of cytoskeleton helps to form the flagella and cilia? | Microtubules |
| Ribosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Apparatus help to make and transport _____________ | Proteins |
| Which material, in a cell, helps to catalyze reactions and make structures in a cell? | Proteins |
| Internal membrane system found in Eukaryotic cells | Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| Contains enzymes that synthesize membrane lipids and large amounts are found in the liver for detoxification of drugs | Smooth ER |
| Small particles of RNA and Protein, cells that are very active in protein synthesis contain a large number of these. | Ribosomes |
| Appears as a stack of flattened membranes in eukaryotic cells | Golgi apparatus |
| Found in plant cells and captures energy form the sun and uses photosynthesis to convert it to food. | Chloroplast |
| Ribosomes can be found on its surface causing it to have the description of rough. | Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| Found in prokaryotic cells, function is to support, shape and protect the cell, porous enough to allow water, oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through | Cell Wall |
| Modifies, sorts and packages proteins and other materials from the Rough ER before being released for storage in the cell or sent out of the cell | Golgi apparatus |
| The Rough ER is responsible for synthesizing ____________ that will be released from the cell, become part of the membrane or destined for lysosomes | Proteins |
| It is called the Smooth ER because _____________ are not found on its surface. | Ribosomes |
| Converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are used by the cell. Mostly found in eukaryotic cells | Mitochondria |
| Made of a lipid bilayer that provides a strong barrier between cell and surroundings. | Cell Membrane |
| Tail end of lipid that does not like water. It is known to be ____________ | Hydrophobic |
| Head end of the lipid that does like water. It is known to be ______________ | Hydrophilic |
